Must use copper pipe from the valve to the shower head for better water pressure? I never heard that, is that common knowledge? Really like your content, your videos are great.
Yes that is true! With a 1/2" PEX line running up to the shower head you are running water through a Pex fitting first, and this this chokes down the diameter of the line immediately after the water leaves the shower valve.
Just bought a house nearby and was looking to finish basement and third floor it seems like it’s going to take forever because no one wants to work so watching your videos but yeah I can’t do it lol great content
So glad I found your videos! I have an unfinished basement that had a wall wrap that I removed because there was some water issues needing repair. The builders used 3 rows of 1x1 in wood to mount the wrap with concrete sunk nails... do you have recommendations for removal of those 1x1s and the nails without too much damage to the poured cement walls and floors??
In this video we'll outline How to plumb a finished basement bathroom, wet bar and laundry room in your new finished basement space! Good Plumbing drain-line pointers in this video. Thanks for watching! ~Eddie
Looks like that sewage ejector basin lid will be a bear to open if the ejector ever needs replaced with the tee pvc part touching the top. This basement is fresh though.

Hi Eddie! We recently got a home in AZ with a finished basement. It has the laundry room and and full bath, as well as all it’s recess lighting etc. we are wanting to add a full kitchen as well. Any idea how much work it’ll be to add the kitchen? Rough estimate of cost?
I do like them. They are modular-looking and are problematic over time. The biggest reason I do not like them is you have to Build-up the bathroom floor for a shower or tub to be installed and this looks terrible in my opinion. ~Eddie
@@BasementFinishingMan Eddie, most of your Studor vents appear to be around 48” high. Is there a reason to mount them this high? Most sure-vent diagrams show 4” to 6” height requirements. I want to do it right the first time. Thanks so much for what you do, I’m a new fan!
I have a problem in the basement kitchen sink. It cannot drain water quickly, seems always clogged. I have to keep using garbage disposal to run the water down. But all other bathroom shower and sink are running fine. Can you advise? Thanks
Not really recommended for basements. Synthetic plank flooring is GREAT and will last a lifetime! No underlayment needed either with the synthetic plank flooring. ~Eddie
We were going to originally have the sewage ejector farther away from the final location, so we had intended to vent the bath sink individually. We changed the location closer to the bathroom so we just capped-it off as it wasn't needed any longer...GOOD EYE!

@@BasementFinishingMan If you use PEX A, you shouldn't have to worry about the Chock-down.
Great instructional vid! Taught me a lot. I’m not a plumber, but now I know some of what to look for in basement set ups.
What kind of sink drain bucket pump do you use/recommend?
Always good content. Thanks for sharing your insight.
Thanks for tuning-in Charlie!
Nothing but best content 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I'd just leave them and build in front of them... ~Eddie
I know many people say it's a regional thing but how much of an increase in property taxes will a permitted basement overall be?

What are your thoughts on an upflush toilet instead of a sewage ejector?
I do like them. They are modular-looking and are problematic over time. The biggest reason I do not like them is you have to Build-up the bathroom floor for a shower or tub to be installed and this looks terrible in my opinion. ~Eddie
do you leave an access panel for the studor vent after the drywall has been installed?
Yes...via access panel

I have used vinegar, baking soda hot water to try to unclog it many times
Probably needs snaked out to clean the drain line completely or it may be just a vent issue.
Trying to find where the vent is located. The dishwasher next to this basement always partially drain leaving the bottom with water.
Is carpet safe for a basement? What do I need to put down for an underlayment?
Not really recommended for basements. Synthetic plank flooring is GREAT and will last a lifetime! No underlayment needed either with the synthetic plank flooring. ~Eddie
I see a 2" capped (VENT) line to the left of the vanity sink, what is that?
We were going to originally have the sewage ejector farther away from the final location, so we had intended to vent the bath sink individually. We changed the location closer to the bathroom so we just capped-it off as it wasn't needed any longer...GOOD EYE!
where do you vent the sewage ejector to? Do you have to cut into a first floor bathroom?
Outside the house through the box joist. ~Eddie
do showers or tubs not need to be vented? is that why the need for 2 inch tub drain?
Yes they need a 2” vent within 6’ after the P-trap
@@BasementFinishingMan Not sure about the local codes where u are located, but in my state (Ky), 1.5" vent would be sufficient to vent a shower .
